Toby Hahn's Home Network
This is my home network. Most of the devices (6 of the laptops, all the iPods, the Kindles, and the printers) are connected to the network via WiFi, but the devices that need a consistently faster internet connection (such as the TiVo, the Wii, the PS3, one of the laptops, and the alarm system) are connected via ethernet. The devices on the top floor (TiVo, Wii, PS3, and one laptop) get internet through a box with an ethernet port that plugs into the wall and transfers internet through the electrical lines.
I learned that internet is very expensive.
I think people should know how their network works so that if something goes wrong they can fix it.

AMIGOS VS FAMILIA
Tu vs. Ud. Questions
Ever wonder how to address your elders in spanish? Or how to greet your amigos? Depending on the person, they're will always be a certain amount of respect given in the spanish language. In english, we usually address authority figures with “Mr.” or “Ms.”, but with Spanish, it is way more complex.
There are two different ways of speech that specify who you are talking to. When having a conversation with a friend or peer, it is always necessary to end the sentence “Tú”. This is an informal way of speech and should not be used when talking to authority figures. The same is applied when asking questions. Imagine you are meeting a new friend for the first time. They ask for your name. You would say, “´¿Me llamo ____, y tú?” By ending the sentence with “...y tú?” You are saying “And you?”. A couple of practices and you'll get the hang of it!
Now onto to the formal way of sayings! Whenever referring to an adult or older authority figure, it is essential to ask them a question that ends with “Usted”. Simple questions such as “What is your name?” would be said in espanol like “¿Cómo se llama usted?” as opposed to its informal counter part, “¿Cómo te llamas tú?”. This applies to all older family members, teachers and other authority figures.
Just remember these simple things:
Tú=Someone around your age/peer/friend
Usted= An adult, authority figure (ex: Professora)
Try practicing here
Lets take a look at the boxes below:
Here is a video of three friends talking to one another using "Tú" and a child talking to their grandmother using "Usted".

Basic Conversations in Spanish
Explanation:
In order to have a basic conversation in Spanish, you must know how to:
Greet someone
Ask them how they are
Ask them their name
Ask them where they live
Say goodbye
This is how to ASK any of these questions:
****NOTICE: (tú) is in parentheses for the questions ¿Cómo the llamas? and ¿De dónde eres? This is because the word tú is a way of addressing a friend (or amigo) of yours. If you are to ask these same questions to someone who is not your friend and is to be respected, you would ask them like this:
Here are some responses to those questions:
¿Qué tal?
¿Cómo se llamas?
¿De dónde eres (tú)?
WAYS TO SAY GOODBYE:
******It is always polite to say "Nice to meet you" after meeting someone for the first time. It is also polite to reply to that by saying "Likewise."
OTHER USEFUL TERMS:
Here is a game that can be helpful with this lesson. It is also good for greeting someone in Spanish.

HOW TO: Greet someone in Spanish
Explanation:
There are FOUR ways that you can greet someone in Spanish, and they are:
****NOTICE: There are TWO exclamation points being used in each greeting. One of them is BEFORE the greeting and one is AFTER the greeting. The exclamation point before the greeting is ALWAYS upside down. This rule applies to EVERY sentence or phrase that is exclamatory. This same rule also applies when adding a question mark to any question you may ask in Spanish.
You must know when to use each greeting. For example, you would only use ¡Buenos días! when:
Greeting someone as you're arriving to work
Greeting someone as you're arriving to school
Greeting someone while you're eating breakfast
Greeting someone at any other time during the morning
You would only use ¡Buenas tardes! when:
Greeting someone when you're leaving school
Greeting someone while you're eating lunch
Greeting someone at any other time during the afternoon
You would only use ¡Buenas noches! when:
Greeting someone while you're eating dinner
Greeting someone after you've got home from work
Greeting someone at any other time during the evening
¡Hola! is a greeting that can be used at ANY time.

Weather Weather is like the easiest subject to learn in Español. Your just basically giving a one word answer on how the weather is using hace or esta, which means it’s or it is. Example: rainy: hace lloviendo snowy: está nevando If you want to say the temperature is either good or bad you just say; mal for bad or bien for good. Some temperature is pronounce to its meaning in English or to a word that means the same Example: hace (bastante) frio - it’s (very) cold está (mayormente) nublado - it’s (mostly) cloudy hace (bastante) calor - it’s (very) hot está (mayormente) húmedo - it’s (mostly) humid hace (bastante) sol - it’s (very) sunny está (mayormente) lloviendo - it’s (mostly) rainy hace (bastante) viento - it’s (very) windy está (mayormente) nevando - it’s (mostly) snowy Weather: For this video to teach the weather, we’re going to do a fake weather forecast. First the two girls are going to turn on the television to the weather channel and the anchor is going to tell them how the weather is in Spanish . Dates Numbers in Spanish are also very different from English. The first letter in the word also start with lower case. In Spanish the date comes before the month as in English the month comes before the date, but the year still goes last. Example: English: Spanish: 6/12/09 12/6/09 Dates are very important if you want to know when your homework is due, when somebody birthday is and when something expires. Months Months and Dates are very different from each other in Spanish and English . In Spanish the first letter of a word is lower case while in English it’s upper case Spanish Months: enero febrero marzo abril mayo junio julio agosto septiembre octubre noviembre diciembre English Months: January February March April May June July August September October November December As you can see in the chat there are some words that look the same as in English but some look very different and is spelled different . The most common misspelled Spanish months are : agosto - august septiembre - september octubre - october noviembre - november diciembre - december Months and Dates: This video is about a husband forgetting his wife birthday. She is going to throw around a couple of hints like for example she’s going to say all the months in Spanish and say something like aren't you forgetting something.
